Magnolia has long been a favorite restaurant. It’s simple, comfort food menu is the perfect answer when you can’t decide where to eat. Their new menu, released this last week, features more seasonal market driven menu items. New items like a beet and avocado salad, burrata and tomato, or slow roasted vegetables with a red-wine vinaigrette, are the perfect starter for the pan seared red snapper or homemade roast beef sandwich.

The have a few new sandwiches and entrees too. Even the burger gets an upgrade here, with Estancia Farms grass fed beef, butter lettuce, and oven roasted tomatoes; it’s perfectly charred, juicy with a flavorful seasoning. With plenty of vegetarian and meat eater options, their crowd pleasing menu makes it the perfect stop before, or after, a night out on the town.

Ask for a half order of the butternut squash ravioli for the perfect appetizer.

TIPS: Magnolia has two locations, downtown and Hollywood. Free parking is offered at the Downtown location on 8th Pl. Both locations offer Valet.
